So, I am in a group chat with a few good friends. Some of them are or were members here. One of them owns a FN precision rifle (aka FBI rifle). I have been pestering him for literally years to sell it to me, because I don’t have a bolt gun. Now, mind you, this guy knows his shit (has some of the nicest gear I’ve ever seen owned by a civilian), and of course, he’s been telling me to pound sand (because he’s not a retard)
Now, one of those brothers from another mother offered me a REM 700 with a varmint profile barre. I’m not a huge Remington fan, but sold as a package with excellent goodies, he called for a price I could not pass on. Badger ordnance scope base, Harris bipod, Vortex precision rings (NOT the cheap shyte they put out).

I call it my new project rifle. The stock has to go. I knew that before I bought it. So does the trigger (not a fan of single stage). I’ve made a decision on the stock: KRG Bravo. Manners and McMillan make great stocks, but by the time I’d have them configured the way I want them, the bedding, and in letting, the DBM etc, they are both cost prohibitive. My hard requirements for the stock were :
- drop box mag (preferably AICS or even better, AW)
- no skeleton rear stock
- no AR style pistol grip
- mini chassis
- Arca Swiss
The Bravo is the only chassis I can come up with that has everything I really want without having my credit card implode on impact.
I want a 2 stage, predictable trigger. On my wish list: 1lbs 1st stage and 2.5 lbs second stage, adjustable would be my preference. If you guys have experience with something like that, let me know what it is and how you like it. Thanks in advance.
